Kathys Song by Simon & Garfunkel - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Simon & Garfunkel Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
            Song: Kathy's song
Artist: Simon and Garfunkel
Composer: Paul Simon
Album: Sounds of silence

Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' at ultimateGuitar-) 23rd Oct 2016

DROPPED TUNING: 
To match album track de-tune all strings a semi-tone down 
to D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#  to get you in the ball park.

ADDITIONAL FINE TUNING: 
To match the original album track more precisely, use a
chromatic tuner, and tune up all the strings very slightly
up approx.(+10 cents)

Alternatively, seach for a live version to practise along to,
which still requires the main dropped tuning but may be in
standard pitch and not need any further fine tuning.

    And from the shelter of my mind,
Am              Cmaj7/G  C  C/B D
    Through the window   of my  eyes,
   G            Bm/F#    G *  C/A    G/B  C

    My mind's dis - tracted, and dif - fused,
Am                  Cmaj7/G  C     C/B D
    My thoughts are many     miles a - way,
     G        Bm/F#      G *  C/A  G/B C
They lie with you,  when you're--- a - sleep,

And a song I was writing is left un - done,

    I don't know why I  ...spent my  time,
G           Bm/F#    G *  C/A   G/B  C
    Writing songs I    ...can't be - lieve,
